Dear Nurturer -
An Ode to Womanhood
For my first construction and conception class of graduate school, I completed this mini capsule collection within a few weeks in November 2023
“Delight of men and gods,” he called her, “dear nurturer.” “Under the sliding star signs she fills the ship-laden sea and the fruitful earth with her being; through her the generations are conceived and rise up to see the sun; from her the storm clouds flee; to her the earth, the skillful maker, offers flowers. The wide levels of the sea smile at her, and all the quiet sky shines and streams with light..”
As a designer, I believe symbolism is everything. Venus is not only a culmination of womanhood, but also a symbol of unbreakable connection to our earth. I want to combine aspects of roman mythology, sculptural art, and nature in order to produce a collection inspired by women and our connection to the Earth.
